This may sound silly but I just need to vent.

I had an accident Saturday night after TWOTY.

I slipped on ice in my driveway. I pulled mussels in my shoulder, (not so much of a big deal, it will heal) my arm & hand are swollen so my e-ring doesn't fit).

I cut my face open, real bad. I have stitches on the inside and 7 on the outside. It is extremely painful even with the rx. I can't open mouth normal talking is limited Chances are I am going to have a scar. I was informed that I could have the scar laser removed, but have to stay out of the sun.

FH & I booked a cruise for a month from now, that we'll probably have to cancel

Sorry that happened. I wouldn't cancel the trip. You need a break.

So sorry!!! Don't cancel your trip! You should be healed by then, but do wear serious sunblock and a hat! Tanning is bad for you anyway. Be diligent with your skin, and apply mederma once the doc says its okay.

I have an unusual allergy to the sun (less than 1% of the population of the world has it)...it doesn't prevent me from going into the sun though (I go against doctors orders). However, I do use serious sunblock and re-apply quite often. I can't use the cream sunblocks bc it clogs pores and makes the allergy worse, but I can use the dry oil sunblock which sound strange, but it's not like baby oil or tanning oil. It comes in a spray and I make sure FH sprays the crap out of me like every 20-30 minutes if I'm going to be at the beach or pool or something with direct sun.

Also, last year I had gotten second degree burns to my wrist and hand (cooking is hazardous to my health LOL) and was chaperoning a trip to Hershey park and going to CA for my sisters graduation a few weeks after the burn (therefore sun was invitable). The doctor told me that I could still be in the sun, but the area is more likely to burn and burn very quickly. With that he said to make sure that I keep the burn covered...so try wearing a hat...don't cancel because of this! And maderma and vitamin E worked wonders for my wrist (my engagement ring hand/wrist too)! You can barely see anything (unless you have my wrist up to your nose and are starring at it).

HTH, don't worry....things will be fine!!
